[Payrion]

[railinrealities]

I was running different wheels that wouldn't tuck real good so I sectioned my front end then I changed wheels so now I'm in need of a new set of arms I been trying to give him a chance but he doesn't want the business since they are not in stock, he told me about those arms you purchased but I need a full set

[Payrion]

check out michigan metal works......they cost more but taylor does some of the best work... he can build tube arms for ya, i was quoted for upper tube and lower tube with uni joints about a grand....cheaper for regular ball joints

[Payrion]

you have a toy swap, right? what size wheel
and offset you running, what year axle did ya go with?

[railinrealities]

Yeah I talked to him, like 800 bucks for some flat plate arms, trYing dhp first but I may just build em. Was trying to get finished finally but ahhh lol

[Payrion]

hey guys , i need to change the starter on this truck, since i have the steering box out it seems ill be able to remove it easier....so i thought..any suggestions to get to the damn bolts????? one is fine but the top one looks near impossible to get to with all the auto tranny crap in the way.

[camoit]

Long extinsions, short socket and a swivley. Be ready for the relese of tension.

[DroppedMitsu]

Yup, just what camoit said.

im needing 70 amps alone for the 2 compressors id like to use anyone ever check these alts out?

[camoit]

Have you looked in the tech section. There is a conversion in there. As for that fitting, does the alternator in your truck have a flat nose? You would need to look at the housing and ears. I can't see that thing making 110A at idle. No alternator makes that much at an idle. Makes for great marketing.

[Payrion]

the swap we have is for a 70 amp alt..the 2 compressors im using are 70 amps total add a sound system, eletric fan....im way over the swap we have listed.

[Payrion]

here is another...pricey....wow

I got a new alt off ebay for my isuzu. I think it was 110amps vs. the stock 50. It ended up being for a different motor so they gave it to me for free. A little creative wiring and some flat plate and washers and I made it fit anyway. I'm pretty sure it was a delco remy alternator from a v6 isuzu. Might want to check them out. I'd imagine the mounting is pretty close to the mighty max's

[Payrion]

i found a 90-94 4g63t alt for $110, its 140 amps...it works, just have to swap pulley. Man i would really like to have a 220 amp...nothings worse then lights dimming when the sir compressors come on, I fought that on my dime til i got a 220 amp alt.

[pennyman1]

Mod some brackets and run a small case gm with 220 amp output. I run a 105 amp small case gm on my 1980 2.6, and have a 200 amp gm waiting to go on the turbo motor when it goes in.

[mikeslowmax]

fab up some brackets and run a york

[pennyman1]

my 1980 had a york for the a/c compressor that laid it on its side above the alternator - its the bracket that was modded to run the small case gm. I even have a spare bracket somewhere I think.

[Payrion]

yes i have given the EDC a thought(engine driven compressor) but at the next to nothing get up and go the truck gets as it is.....plus i really like the az compressors look and run...

[mikeslowmax]

yea I feel ya on the az there nice I had one on my ranger

[Payrion]

well im back from mexico, 2 weeks goes so friggn fast.hhuummmm!!! Got the uppers in the mail while i was gone, they look great man, hope to get motivated to coat them this monday since i took that day off to get back to normal life before work. Ill try to get some pics up.

[l.k.]

believe it or not that edc isnt gonna gonna pull your engine down as much as you think....especially if you plumb it right and its wired right. need a secondary on/off switch along with the regular hook up

[camoit]

You do know they make a compressor for diesel trucks that run off a v belt. And they are lubed by engine oil. You could run air tools off it then. And it will only kick in when the air is low. You could even put on a dryer and then your truck will make that cool whoosh noise like a big truck. You would have so much air you could install an air canon and fire crotchet balls at the bastard that cut you off.

[Payrion]

ok guys back to this starter...since i last posted i bought about 6 ft of extensions and 6 swivels.....STILL NO LUCK!!!..soooo today i paid a mechanic from a very good speed shop down the street 25 bucks to stop by tonight after work to look at it for me.....he said he sees no good way to get to the starter unless i remove all the auto trans linkage, the tranny cooling lines, and even after that there is only 1 inch clearance on the top bolt to the fire wall....has anyone actually replaced a starter on a 2nd gen auto 2.4? ...im not kidding here, i have 6-8 hours of time trying to get to any bolt...
before i go ripping all the linkage and lines out im hoping some one who has done it chims in...i cant do anything else on the front til i do this, i want this done before i put the steering box back in.......the starter is right friggn there, i can almost lick it..lol
